Comedy in the Park Edinburgh line-up revealed as John Bishop tops bill for huge open-air gig

John Bishop will headline a huge open-air comedy gig in Dalkeith Country Park next summer.

Comedy in the Park Edinburgh will take place on 24 July, 2021 with a host of top performers on the bill.

In addition to Bishop, fearless comic Fern Brady, brilliant stand-up Ed Gamble, the award-winning Russell Kane and 'ginger king of comedy' Paul Smith will take to the stage.

Comedy in the Park events are taking place across the UK next summer, with gigs also planned for Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Temple Newsam in Leeds, Powderham Castle in Exeter and Southport's Victoria Park.

The likes of Dara O Briain, Tom Davis, Judi Love, Katherine Ryan, James Acaster and Jason Manford will perform in other parts of the country.

Organisers say "Comedy in the Park is a unique outdoor experience" which "turns a section of some of the greatest park spaces in the UK into an incredible arena for the evening".

Tickets for Comedy in the Park Edinburgh are yet to go on-sale, however people are able to sign up to join the priority list. You can find out more, and be the first to hear about tickets, by registering on their website.
